Heather<p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Introduction</span></a></p><p>Howdy! I&#39;m Heather from Texas (she/they). I am a Ph.D. candidate. I am currently writing my dissertation on disability studies in education and working part-time for the university. I have two young adult daughters, a Great Pyrenees, a shorthair tabby cat with socks and mittens, and a kitten! I dream about living in a place with robust public transportation. I like to follow people who post about <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>scifi</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fantasy</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/TV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TV</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>movies</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/games" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>games</span></a></p>

Long, narrow clouds formed against the blue sky and catch light from the sun as it sets, creating pastel pink, orange, and yellow stripes above the trees.</p>

A gentle reminder that this is Disability Pride Month—a perfect time to get into the habit of adding ALT text to any pictures you post. There are many sight-impaired individuals who would appreciate it, and even those with excellent vision sometimes need clarity on what is going on in a picture, or what is significant about it. ALT text is also a great opportunity to add more context, humor, or commentary.
*see addendum below

continued this week. Adult daughter and I saw Joy Ride. It is kind of a raunchy comedy, but it has a definite POV related to transnational adoptions. Very touching. Also very silly.

You all know that I love cats, but what you might not know is that I live in the U.S. state of Vermont where we have been hit by devastating floods this week. I and my family are all totally fine but thousands of others were not so lucky. If you can, please consider donating to the Vermont Disaster Animal Response Team (VDART). They are providing cat/dog food, housing, transportation coordination, and other services to help animals in some of our hardest hit areas. ❤️ vermontdart.org/donate/
